Finially got some pics of all 3 f-bodys togather.

Took the cars out today for some pics, take a look if you want.
For those who donot know, the Camaro is a 90, the Formula is an 88 LB9/auto, and the vert is a 91 LO3 Auto.

lol Probly never, unless something unfourtunate happens. The formy was going to get a Ram air I hood but since we got the vert the formula has become our autocross and road course car, but the vert is getting a Ram Air I hood this fall.

Nice cars. I like the camaro the best. The blue formula could use some paint, but anyway I envy a man with 3 third-gens. :hail:

Hey, did you do the Camaro hood yourself?

Did you get any increased hood clearance?

Yep I did the hood about a year ago, after I put then engine in cause I didn't have enough clearance for an air filter with the carb/intake combo I was running. I gained a few inches of extra clearance, about 3.5 to 4".

it looks like your too cheap too buy a real hood. LOL no offense nothing wrong with going the cheap way and hell atleast its original. I looks like you got those lund scoops on the black bird. Did you cut the hood or jsut glue them on. ALso whats up with putting them on in reverese looks alright though. Can we get some closer pics.

LOL No offense taken, I had nothing at all to do with those scoops. They are the Lund scoops though, The old guy I bought the vert off of had put them on and yes I think he put them on the wrong side. He had also put chrome wheel well mouldings on it as well. After I took them off I took a closer look at the hood scoops and I belive if I take them off it'll leave to much of a mark in the paint that I won't beable to buff off. But it'll all work out in the end, winter it will go into hibernation and when it comes out in the spring it'll have a Ram Air I hood, black crosslace wheels, and sunfire orange paint.





EDIT here is the hood pic.

Yup it's a Mopar Max Wedge scoop. I needed asome extra hood clearance and had sunk all of my $$$ into the motor. I got it from MAS Racing and it took quite a bit of triming to get it to fi correctly. I would like to get the hood GTAuto TGO hood if they would ever get it ready for sale.
